I would actually rotate Busi and Raki in DM and use them only there.
No to all the ideas for adding a midfielder.
None of the the proposed midfielders would be as good in midfield for this team as Roberto and Arthur.
The squad is slim at FB, especially if Digne does leave. Lenglet has to be a candidate to play other positions in addition to CB, I don't know if that would be FB or DM. Even for a Barca CB his skills with the ball are extraordinary.

De Jong is younger than Arthur. Arthur will be 22 in some days. De Jong is almost a year younger.

This is the only thing missing right now. Someone who can give us something different. A direct player who can get in the box, give the opposing team something different to think about.
That would be a no !
We play much better when Busqs plays , when he's missing we look lost somehow.. he's been my favourite Barca player since Ronaldinho left us

THIS.
Really, i'm positevely surprised by the level of our midfield. We have Busquets, Rakitic, Alena, Arthur , Sergi Roberto and Coutinho will also have to play there sometimes to open the LW position to Malcom or Dembele. In games with weaker opponents this will have to happen. So, to sign another player is to relegate Arthur, Sergi Roberto or Aleña to long periods in the bench. It's going to be very difficult for them to evolve and show their real potential.
Just sign a decent RB, to alternate with Semedo. One with more attributes defensively so we have to diferente types of RB.
Plus Samper, Denis and Rafinha. Maybe sell one of these 3. Although i see Rafinha has a LW/RW.
If Valverde sees Coutinho as the Iniesta replacement the above theory is ok.
Messi, Rafinha, Suarez, Munir, Dembélé and Malcolm is the attack.
You really don't understand what rotation means.
The example given is like rotating Paco with Messi !
Guess it was YOU that missed the point

Rakitić is great at DM. The best in our squad not named Sergio Busquets. He is also clearly better as a DM than a CM in Barca. You clearly didn't watch the games where Busi wasn't playing last season. Rakitić bossed the DM. Busi is also getting old and needs rotation. Of course, we would play Busi in the biggest games, I'm not stupid. But you clearly have some issues understanding people, or you simply don't watch Barca.
Zincubus, stop lying to yourself.

Raki looked a liability in most of the matches he played a sole DM for us. His ball retention, jukes and fakes just aren't good enough for that position, and him trying to mimic Busi just looked awkward. I have nightmares of him playing coy on the edge of our penalty area, Busi style.
He would probably work perfectly in a dual DM setup, though.
